The Robotics and Digital solutions (RAD) group, part of the Johnson & Johnson family of companies, is recruiting for a Robotics and Controls Intern/Co-op for the Strategic Robotics R&D Team. This position is located in Santa Clara, CA.
What We Do:
The Strategic Robotics R&D team envisions a future for robotic intervention that is targeted, minimally invasive, and personalized. Building upon a deep understanding of patient and physician needs, we are developing a platform for the next evolution of soft-tissue robotic care.
Who We Are:
We are a team of clinical, electrical, mechanical, mechatronics, robotic controls, and software engineers who are passionate about improving patient care. The team includes a wide range of experience levels from junior engineers to industry experts. We follow an iterative design approach to product development that requires us to collaborate closely across clinical, instruments, accessories, and capital hardware teams. We value autonomy and empower each other to take action while remaining a supportive and closely knit team. We take pride in our culture and are committed to building an environment that is inclusive and promotes diversity of thought through varied experiences and backgrounds.
You:
As a member of the Strategic Robotics R&D team you will join us on our journey to design and build one of the world's most advanced medical robotic platforms. You will work alongside all engineering functions to make contributions in robotic and instrument control, procedural workflow, user experience, and more. This role offers a high degree of autonomy and opportunities for growth within the team as we progress towards realizing our vision.
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop algorithms for robotic systems and tools (specifically, sensing, kinematics, and dynamics)
- Design and establish testing methods for analyzing algorithm performance
- Propose and implement robotic control schemes for novel devices
- Work closely with other research scientists, robotics engineers, and software engineers to transfer solutions into Auris products and applications
